I think it's more like people claim there is more than there really is. They forget that 5* talent doesn't tend to stick around more than 3 years. 2015 class has 6 5 stars. 2 transfered, 3 declared early last year and Damion Harris was the only one to return.
What you really want are a bunch of 4 stars. Still in the top100 players and Alabama gets lots and lots of them. 5 stars are nice, but they are really the cherries on top.
Stocking up with a bunch of 3 stars is what you don't want to see.
Brian Kelly has done a better job of not stocking up on three stars, and getting more four stars. Not Alabama level of recruiting but better than when he started coaching at Notre Dame.
